Watch astronaut Christina Koch and Google’s James Manyika discuss space, technology, and discovery.

The episode is the latest installment of Google's Dialogues on Technology and Society series, pairing NASA astronaut, engineer, and scientist Christina Koch with James Manyika, Google's Senior Vice President of Research, Labs, Technology & Society.

Koch reflects on a career that includes spending 328 days aboard the International Space Station, conducting the historic first all-female spacewalk, and her upcoming journey around the Moon on NASA's Artemis II mission.

In the conversation, she describes seeing Earth as an electric blue "lifeboat" from 250,000 miles away, and the two explore the vital partnership between astronauts, robotics, and AI. Koch also addresses the big question of whether we are alone, and offers advice for future explorers: do what scares you, and support the people around you.
